NimbostratusUse redirect and pools in same iRule?
I'm trying to build one irule that has all my logic in it, it will parse the URI of the request and send some URIs to a pool, but send others to external servers via HTTP::REDIRECT.

NimbostratusExcellent, this worked. WHat I ended up using:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/blog" } {
pool my-aws-blog-pool
} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/a1" } {
HTTP::redirect "http://wwwa1.somwebsite.com/"
} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/a2" } {
HTTP::redirect "http://wwwa2.somwebsite.com/"
} else {
HTTP::redirect "http://wwwa1.somwebsite.com/"
}
}
And this does exactly what I want.
My only lingering question now (and I know it's not an irule question but I'll throw it out there) is how to use a DNS name for a node in a pool... I'm lucky that i can get away in this case without using one, but we have servers using virtual names and so I will need to hit an Amazon EC2 server someday using a hostname in a pool.... but thanks the above help, it works.
BTW, that pool is made up of virtual servers in amazon, so far it's working nicely.
